After eating and drinking, Zhao Ziliang thought that the soldiers were very tired after marching in the rainy night and fighting all night, so he arranged for the soldiers to be divided into several groups to take turns to rest.
He also remembered that Xi Yunqing must still be waiting for news at Tuoyun Castle, since he had raided the Hera tribe.
If it was successful, he should send someone to send a letter to Xi Yunqing to report the situation of the raid, so he said to Wei Meng: "Send a fast horse back to Tuoyun Castle quickly later to report the status of the raid to the Lord of the castle.
Please rest assured."
"No" Wei Meng stood up and agreed.
Zhao Ziliang stood up and said: "Let's go, follow me to the Wuzhen River to check the river and hydrological conditions."
The gang leaders, deputy gang leaders and others accompanied Zhao Ziliang on horseback to the Zhenzhu River and headed upstream along the river bed.
It took nearly half a day for Zhao Ziliang and others to ride their horses and walk back and forth by the river, covering a total distance of more than a hundred miles.
In the afternoon, Zhao Ziliang and others stopped at a river beach.
They used the hand tower pergola to observe the river surface and current conditions.
He pointed at the river and said to Wei Meng: "Send a few people who are familiar with water properties to go down and explore the water depth and current conditions here."
"promise" Wei Meng immediately asked a few soldiers who were familiar with the water to go into the water to explore the situation.
The river section here was flat, the river beach was wide, and the water flow was gentle.
If the water flow was not deep and not fast, this should be the best place to cross the river within a hundred miles, and from Shattered When Ye Zhen goes to Toyun Castle, he must pass through here because it is the closest.
While the soldiers were inspecting the water flow and water depth, Wei Meng stepped forward and asked, "Deputy Lord, we have been walking for so long, why did you choose this place alone to explore the water depth and water flow?"
Zhao Ziliang pointed to the surrounding river beach and river surface with his horsewhip and said: "Look around here, there is a road leading here from the residence of the Hera tribe.
There are traces of human activities on the river beach, and there are wooden piles by the river.
It should be It is used to tie the boat ropes, plus the river here The terrain of the beach is flat and wide, and the water flow is gentle.
If my guess is correct, this should be the best place to cross the river within a hundred miles.
If the river is not deep and the water flow under the water is not fast, the three rivers coming from Tuqishi Thousands of troops will definitely cross the river from here."
Wei Meng cupped his hands and said: "From what the deputy fort master said, it is really the case, but why are there no ships on the river?"
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "The nomadic barbarians are not good at building and using boats.
They usually use rafts to cross the river.
It rained heavily last night, the river water rose and the current was very fast.
I expected those rafts to be washed away by the current when we came here. , didn’t you find that there are rafts floating down the river from time to time in the middle of the river?”
Wei Meng slapped his head: "Now that I think about it, there are indeed rafts going down the river from time to time."
"Come on, let's go take a look."
After walking around, Zhao Ziliang found a boxwood forest less than two miles away from crossing the river.
The forest faced the Zhenzhu River and the terrain was quite high.
He led people to walk around the boxwood forest and found that the forest was quite large.
Soldiers and horses can be hidden.
Returning to the river beach, Wei Meng stepped forward and saluted: "Deputy Lord, the soldiers have investigated and found that the current under the water in this section of the river is a bit fast and the water is deep enough to cover the horses' backs.
It will take three days for Tu Qi Shi's army to arrive here.
After three days, the water flow will definitely slow down and the water depth will become shallow, just right for crossing the river."
Zhao Ziliang nodded, "Okay, then I'll wait here for them to cross the river.
Have you seen the boxwood forest?
I took it to see it just now.
The forest is quite large, dark in the forest, and the distance between the trunks is large.
The leaves are lush, yellow but not withered, and are not afraid of water and fire, so they can be hidden Hide your troops and horses.
When the sudden cavalry is about to cross the river, we will rush out from the woods and catch them off guard.
However, we must always know their whereabouts.
You immediately send the reconnaissance cavalry across the river to investigate the area within a hundred miles of the other side of the river.
Land, once the Tuqishi army is discovered, report immediately."
"promise" The days of waiting were long and boring.
In order to prevent the soldiers from being bored, Zhao Ziliang organized the soldiers in the camp to be divided into several teams for competitive competitions, such as horse shooting, equestrianism, riding combat, and team competitions.

By the next day, the weather was fine, and I reported to the observing soldiers that the river water level had indeed dropped and the flow rate had slowed down.
At noon, there was a report from the scout Pegasus.
They found the Tuqi Shi army fifty miles south of Helie City on the south coast of Atami.
However, the number of Tuqi Shi's army was not 3,000, but 5,000.
Why did Tuqi Shi's army suddenly increase by 2,000 men?
Is there any change in this?
No matter what, this is not a good thing for Tuoyunbao.
He only has 200 cavalry in hand, while the opponent has 5,000 people.
The disparity in strength is too big. , even if you can attack them unprepared, I'm afraid you won't be able to win in a single battle.
It seems that the only purpose is to annihilate the opponent's effective strength.
To disintegrate this attack of the Tuqi Shi army, we can only take a long-term approach.
Not long after noon, I saw a soldier Pegasus coming from the south to report: "Deputy Lord, we discovered Princess Shule during our patrol.
She is coming on horseback at this time."
Zhao Ziliang frowned when he heard this: "Why is this girl causing trouble?
How did she know that I am waiting here?"
Wei Meng said: "Deputy Castle Master, I'm afraid the princess forced the castle master or other people in the castle.
They couldn't afford to offend the princess, so they had to tell the truth.
The princess was worried about your safety, so she rushed here in a hurry."
As she was talking, she saw Panzhu Junxiu galloping towards her on a white horse with a spear in hand.
Behind her were more than a hundred female knights.
All of these female knights had excellent riding skills and strong agility.
When Panzhu Junxiu reined in his horse and stopped, Zhao Ziliang stepped forward and asked: "Princess, why are you here with so many female soldiers?"
Panzhu Junxiu said with a smile: "Since the last incident, my father was worried about my safety, so he sent this team of elite female cavalry to be my bodyguards to protect me at all times.
Yesterday I came to Tuoyun Castle to look for you, Unexpectedly, I couldn't find you, so I had to ask Xi Yunqing, and he told me that you had brought two hundred cavalry to raid the Hera tribe camp.
I couldn't trust you, so I came with my guards before dawn today. " Zhao Ziliang really didn't know what to say.
He blamed Panzhu Junxiu for being too willful and reckless.
He couldn't bear it.
He couldn't say it out loud.
Apart from being moved, he only felt affection in his heart.
He stretched out his hand to hold her hand and said softly: "The princess' affection for me.
Ziliang will die without retribution.
But why don't you take your own safety seriously?
If something happens to you, tell me what to do."
When Panzhu Junxiu heard what Zhao Ziliang said so openly, her face turned red with embarrassment.
She turned her head away in embarrassment, but she was secretly happy in her heart, and her expression became as warm as a spring flower.
However, Zhao Ziliang's tone changed and he said: "But, princess, we have to make it clear.
There will be a war soon.
The war is dangerous.
If you want to stay, you must obey my orders.
If you can't Agree, for the sake of the princess’ safety, please ask the princess to take them back to where they came from.”
Panzhu Junxiu's eyes widened when he heard this, and he immediately objected: "How can that be done?
I am a general, and you are just a small captain.
It is not okay for me to listen to you."
Zhao Ziliang pointed his finger to the south: "Since the princess does not agree, then please go back.
We don't want anyone who disobeys military orders.

If you stay, you will definitely ruin my important affairs."
Seeing Zhao Ziliang's resolute look and tone, Panzhu Junxiu softened her heart and quickly said coquettishly: "Okay, okay, I will listen to you.
I will do whatever you ask me to do, and I will never disobey your military orders.
Is this okay?”
“That’s pretty much it”:
